Help we need a fix for the stupid nannies that leave the Job several hours before a parent arrives home from work.. in my game today My Sims Colleen and Sean Tricou hired a nanny to take care of their toddler Daughter. Daddy is Captain Hero and Mommy is on the Swat team so of course neither parent was due to be home until 4 p.m. or later. My Sim Mom put her toddler down for a nap Just before leaving for work. the Nanny Dagmar Kimbrell arrived on time no problem there so Mom went to work. the nanny was there for less than 2 hours when she walked off the Job leaving this toddler unattended. I hurried up and Teleported Grandpa in to take care of the toddler. he was doing a great Job but to no avail first the social worker showed up to lecture grandpa about leaving the baby unattended .I cancelled that action and removed the social worker from the lot. another social worker arrives and snatches the toddler from Grandpa who was teaching her to walk. so back to the shrub I go and teleport this toddler back to her parents lot and move her back in. I then had to go to simpe and remove the child taken by social worker memory from both parents. I have since permanently fixed the issue for this toddler by hastily getting her aunt married to her Fiancee to open up a bedroom at grandpa's house which already had 15 people in it and now has 18 on the lot with the addition of the toddler and her parents . and will soon have 20 sims on the lot. for this little family Grandpa's house corrects the issue of the derelict nanny but other families dont have that luxury in my neighborhood. I got even with the nanny by using a hack to make her pregnant with twins by townie Kennedy Cox.I will teleport her twins to Don Lothario's house for unwanted babies where he will promptly adopt them. I dont want my playable sims to continue to lose their kids because of derelict nannies like this one.

I second this request!
When the parents are at work, I have to select the nanny with Merola's mirror, and delete each 5 minutes the nanny's car tumbnail, appearing near the queue tumbnail, which causes her to cancel her occupation, and goes to the car. When I hover over the car tumbnail I read - "bail autonomy".
If I don't do that, she leaves the baby/toddler/kid, and as Bangel described, and I have to look for a solution.
My solution is, to teleport one of the parents (not another nanny or relative), and 5 minutes before the time he/she has to come from work - delete her from the lot.
Indeed, very annoying.

It seems to be a problem with the nanny's car-does it ever leave the lot? I have had problems with the car always being stuck there-but usually that means I have 2 nannies on the lot at the same time that never leave!

But when the "bail autonomy" tumbnail appears, and the nanny makes preparations to leave - the car appears at the lot. Meek, I need the nannies - and in my game they don't need anything; I have eternal mood object, which makes all the residents and guests/NPCs full green and in platinum mood. So, the problem is not the nannies' needs - it's the "bail autonomy" tumbnail that has to be fixed.

I never used Nannies much until recently. I have a single working father with two handsome young sons....I want the nanny employ not just to keep the social worker away (there are hacks for that), but for the story line as well. What I've noticed is that she doesn't adjust to schedule changes. When the Dad gets a promotion, I have to end her services and rehire another nanny. So far, if I do that, she comes when she is supposed to and leaves when she is supposed to. Don't know if that will help, Banglenuts....the nannies certainly are screwy (btw, I always read your name as bagelnuts...took me weeks to figure out there was no potential cream cheese involved. ) P.S. What IS it with half cooked lobster dishes all over the house *tears hair* and young children who have to bake their own muffins in a plastic oven if they want to eat after school.... *** edit *** doh, it occurs to me that directing you to the no social worker abuduction patch would be a good thing until this gets straightened out for you. It's Inge's! http://simlogical.com/You can find it under "global patches"

That is a beautiful toddler, I wouldn't want to lose her either! I love her hair. My nannies aren't leaving early, but I have a problem with a second nanny showing up as the first one is leaving! The parent's are already home, so there is no need for the second one.

The parent's are already home, so there is no need for the second one. I got her hair from pronusims. her daddy was the first to arrive home and he was crying his eyes out thinking shein the social workers hands. when grandpa had already retrieved her.in fact grandpa was finishing up teaching her to walk while her Dadddy was in the shower. I had to direct daddy to his toddler so he would quit crying. Ive had the 2 nanny bug . I had to dismiss them to get rid of them. Id rather have that bug instead of the derelict nanny.

Well, hopefully someone will create a fix for you and everyone else with the derelict nanny problem. My problem is just a nuisance, whereas yours is much more than that, obviously. Thanks for letting me know where you got the cute hair, I'll have to check it out.

They dont want to seem to stay overnight either. I had a preganant sim trying to get some shut eye after work while the father went off to his ecological guru career (he is the one that hired her to track HIS schedule). The nanny split after about half a day once she got home and left a very tired pregnant mom to fend for herself and the toddler in the middle of the night.

I just had this happen to me.
The nanny was scheduled to be at the house from 8 AM to 4 PM according to the work schedule of the sim to contacted her. She showed up at the proper time. After everyone had left for work, there was only the toddler left at home that she was looking after.
2 PM rolled around and her van showed up and she left the house with the toddler sleeping in his crib!
Luckily no social worker showed up before 4 PM when the parents came home!

The parent's are already home, so there is no need for the second one. I have that problem too Maria. I find I end up having to delete the Nanny-Mobile with moveobjects on or I'll get an unending stream of nannies coming and going. One time, in the Broke house, I had Brandi marry a single father, Matt Riffraff, father to children Kayla and Layla. Dustin still had his criminal career, Beau was a child and Brandi's third boy Brady had just been put in the cot. After a great wedding party, Brandi and Matt took off on their honeymoon and Dustin left for work. Panic set in until I remembered that children could call the nanny, so Layla did so just after Dustin left. As Brady fell asleep, I got the message that it wasn't a good idea to leave him unsupervised. That's ok, I thought, the nanny's on her way. WRONG. The Social Worker rocked up and took all four of the kids at home, then when Brandi and Matt arrived home several game hours later they sobbed for ages about the loss of the children, and then just as Dustin arrived home, the nanny finally rocked up. I could have cheerfully strangled her.

The patch was supposed to fix all these nanny issues and mine have behaved impeccably since I installed it. In fact, they're so well-behaved they've become predictably boring.

Is there a patch for nannies?
